Ajax form with Express res.download and BlockUI not working












0















I build a server with Express for user to upload images ,then server process images array and response a zip by res.download .



First ,I try to post the Html form with submit function,it can work.



But I wish to display an image when the data process on the browser , so I use BlockUI.



And turn to use ajax send the form ,when it success will unblokUI , download file , then turn to other page.



Now server also get the ajax and sent response ,but it doesn't download the file.



Anyone has any idea? I'll be very appreciate!!



HTML



<form id="form" action="url" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<h2>upload</h2>
<div>
<label>User:</label>
<input type="text" id="user" name="user" accept="text" required="required">
</div>
<input id="fileUpload" type="file" name="file" accept="image/*" multiple="" required="required">
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit">
</form>


JavaScript



<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.blockUI({ message: '<img style="width:50%" src="img_path' });
var form_data = new FormData($('form')[0]);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'url',
data: form_data,
processData: false,
contentType: false,

success: function() {
$.unblockUI();
location.replace("url");
}
});




Node js



app.post('router', upload.array('file', 30),function(req, res) { 
compressing.zip.compressDir(myfile_path).then(() => {
res.download(myfile)
}
})

          it's totally work dude,



          express index.js file:



          const express = require('express')
          const app = express()
          const port = 3000

          app.post('/download', function (req, res) {
          res.download("./test.zip")
          })
          app.use(express.static('public'))
          app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))


          test.html file:



          <!DOCTYPE html>
          <html>
          <head>
          <title>test</title>
          </head>
          <body>
          <script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          $(document).ready(function(){

          $.ajax({
          url:"http://localhost:3000/download",
          method:"POST",
          type:"POST",
          xhrFields: {
          responseType: 'blob'
          },
          success:function(response, status, xhr){
          var fileName = xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Disposition').split("=")[1]
          console.log(fileName)
          var a = document.createElement('a');
          var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(response);
          a.href = url;
          a.download = fileName;
          a.click();
          window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
          }
          });

          });
          </script>
          </body>
          </html>


          place your test.html file on static folder beside index.js file.
          also download jquery.js and place beside test.html file.

          • first, send the request with postman. if you can download file, use $.fileDownload instead of $.ajax

          • Hello @mahradbt ,I follow your tips to sent request by postman . Response looks good ,it return back a { content-type →application/zip },and name also correct. So I use fileDownload like this $.fileDownload({ type: 'POST', url: 'url', data: form_data, processData: false, contentType: false, success: function() { // $.unblockUI(); } }); But it didn't sent request to server.

          $.ajax({
          url:"http://localhost:3000/download",
          method:"POST",
          type:"POST",
          xhrFields: {
          responseType: 'blob'
          },
          success:function(response, status, xhr){
          var fileName = xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Disposition').split("=")[1]
          console.log(fileName)
          var a = document.createElement('a');
          var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(response);
          a.href = url;
          a.download = fileName;
          a.click();
          window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
          }
          });

          });
          </script>
          </body>
          </html>


          place your test.html file on static folder beside index.js file.
          also download jquery.js and place beside test.html file.

          it's totally work dude,



          express index.js file:



          const express = require('express')
          const app = express()
          const port = 3000

          app.post('/download', function (req, res) {
          res.download("./test.zip")
          })
          app.use(express.static('public'))
          app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}!`))


          test.html file:



          <!DOCTYPE html>
          <html>
          <head>
          <title>test</title>
          </head>
          <body>
          <script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          $(document).ready(function(){

          $.ajax({
          url:"http://localhost:3000/download",
          method:"POST",
          type:"POST",
          xhrFields: {
          responseType: 'blob'
          },
          success:function(response, status, xhr){
          var fileName = xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Disposition').split("=")[1]
          console.log(fileName)
          var a = document.createElement('a');
          var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(response);
          a.href = url;
          a.download = fileName;
          a.click();
          window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
          }
          });

          });
          </script>
          </body>
          </html>


          place your test.html file on static folder beside index.js file.
          also download jquery.js and place beside test.html file.

          • first, send the request with postman. if you can download file, use $.fileDownload instead of $.ajax

          • Hello @mahradbt ,I follow your tips to sent request by postman . Response looks good ,it return back a { content-type →application/zip },and name also correct. So I use fileDownload like this $.fileDownload({ type: 'POST', url: 'url', data: form_data, processData: false, contentType: false, success: function() { // $.unblockUI(); } }); But it didn't sent request to server.
